Actually they are close to 30 but as we have discussed on the camino, everybody (except the 49 year old Italian alp ski resort manager and the 60 year old basque) looks 8-10 years younger on the the camino.
In order of appearance (sorry Michael and uwve am stealling your idea).
Mathias met in a cafe in lorca (day 6) the first words I heard him utter were oh f*** since the shop with cheap heiniken was closed, he is a 26 year old German, a vegan since december cooking his way through the camino. Had much trouble with his feet at the begining due to too heavy walking boots and I even saw him walking barefoot one day. Now he is walking in "sports shoes" with no problems. He has a sweet smile, claims to know everyone on the camino especially the girls. He is an ex IT guy that will be a student again. He was completely attacked by bedbugs in vianna and the marks still remain. We cooked together in carrion, salad, beetroots, muchos aceteunas, piementos stuffed with mashed chickpeas and tomato garlic sauce with bread and vino tinto of course. There was sea salt available and I showed him how easy it is to crush garlic with salt which he perfected last evening.
Maggie from austria almost 30 (in 4 days or so) met in the Austrian alburgue in Los arcos (day 7), for the last 2 weeks had her confused with katerina also from Austria who I also met the same evening, but katrerina finished her walk last Sunday. Maggie is a material scientist that would like to do something more femine so she has taken a catee break and is walking to Santiago, she has taken beautiful pictures of Spanish village life that I hope she will send me and she loved the walk yesterday.
Time for bed hopefully to be continued.
